WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren on Friday proposed a sprawling set of policies relating to Native Americans and indigenous tribes, accusing the federal government of years of neglect and calling for major economic development initiatives and new legal protections that would give tribes more control over criminal justice and development on their land. “As a nation, we are failing in our legal, political, and moral obligations toward tribal governments and indigenous peoples,” Warren wrote in a post on the Medium website. “Washington owes native communities respect — and so much more.” Warren proposed wholesale changes in the way the federal

Well Lizzy, you can start by giving all of your salary back to the real Native American you stole their job from.

It appears she took the talking points from our Veterans who are experiencing far worse than what the Indians are experiencing.

If I'm not mistaken, tribal land is ruled by the tribes. Besides all the casinos and tax-free cigarette sales, they get what amounts to welfare from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They're about as put upon as the poor black victims in this country. I have fairly high cheekbones, so I feel like I'm allowed to say this.

Ms. Warren is taking an emergency course in learning the Cherokee language. But I agree, we didn’t do right with American Indians. Just as we haven’t done right with black or other minorities, by taking their independence and self respect away. Black people and most minorities were better off at the end of the civil war. Liberalism is a disease.

Funny. All those years Fauxohantus blatantly and cynically faked her bogus NA "heritage" to worm her whiter-than-biden ass up the corporate trail and now she pulls this out of her wigwam.
What a piece of crap, man.

Hate to admit it, but Crock-a-ga-wea is correct about the Native American situation vis-a-vis the federal government. But her "plan" needs legislation and she'd be too busy putting corporate America out of business to actually get this done.

The first love of my life was a Native American from a tribe in Montana. I met him when I was 15 years old, and he stole my heart. He and his brother had been adopted by an upper middle-class, child-less couple where I lived in Boise. This was in the 70's and his brother became famous for all the protesting crap that was going on at that time. He was the Kapepernick of his time. We dated for a couple of years and I really loved this guy, but I was too low class for his family. His adopted family was upper middle class and they had no use for me. I googled him recently, and sadly he has so many tickets and drunk driving issues. I know this is not relevant, so please delete it.

She just wants to keep the Native American population groups on their reservations, mesmerized by her promises of huge government handouts, so they will not attack her between now and the election for her fraudulent claim that she is a Native American.

This will be right up there with Ralph Northam's anti-racism proposals, Justin Fairfax's anti-rape proposals, Bernie Sanders' anti-millionaire taxes and The Sqaud's crusade against anti-Semitism. No-one does spending other people's money to obviate your own sins like the Democrats do.

Don't you think it's about time that we can stop taking care of them? Why do we still have a Bureau of Indian Affairs? Aren't all the evil white people who did them wrong dead by now? Is there no statute of Limitation on how long we have to pay for the wrongful acts of others. How about an exemption for those of us whose ancestors did not commit the wrongful acts.

Washington has Native Americans well covered with tax-free income, monthly checks, paid college, casino rights, special protection for their land and did I mention no taxes?

Warren is such a liar, I realize it's medical/diagnostic terminology, but she's possibly a pathological liar, as she flits from one lie to another, seemingly conscienceless. That's what liars do, they lie!
But there is a question we ought to be asking for the sake of Native Americans and us taxpayers: why are Native Americans self-avoiding assimilation?
Virtually ever ethnic and racial immigrant group has been ghettoized for a period of time, but sooner or later moved out and assimilated with other population groups. This arrangement certainly has not been healthy. But Warren doesn't care about that. Her concern is how to obviate the pickle she's in for claiming Native American ancestry AND profiting off of this claim.
If she wants to do anything, she should calculate the monies she has accumulated from her Harvard days, including the mansion worth a couple of million in Cambridge, MA, and donate it to a charity which is doing real work with thee peoples.
Warren is truly the worst of the worst practitioners of expediency for one's own selfish power needs.
Now, i'm gonna go. get. me. a ...beer... (blech)

After years of dishonoring native tribes by claiming to be one of them to advance herself, now she's pandering to them for a vote. She's a disgusting hypocritical individual.
